Copy Edit the World part 2

1. From my sorority's Spring 2009 Newsletter:
"My goal is to keep you, the alumni's, current on what we are up to."
Should say:
"My goal is to keep you, the alumnae, current on what we are up to." Seeing as we are all females, the plural version should be alumnae.

2. Also from the newsletter:
"With lasting only two weeks, this semester's recruitment was incredible."
Should say:
"Lasting only two weeks, this semester's recruitment was incredible."
The sentence doesn't need the word "with". It confuses the reader and is unnecessary.

3. From my Sociology 155 class syllabus:
"Students are expected to read the assigned readings before each class and come to class prepare to discuss these readings."
Should say:
"Students are expected to read the assigned readings before each class and come to class prepared to discuss these readings."
My professor simply forget to make prepare past tense.

4. From my Social Work 120 syllabus:
"Students are not permitted to use old tests, quizzes when preparing for exams, nor may they consult with students who have already taken the exam."
Should say:
"Students are not permitted to use old tests or quizzes when preparing for exams, nor may they consult with students who have already taken the exam."
